It seems that so many of us think if we don't get instant results, results aren't going to come. I just remind myself that my body took many years to get here - many years of poor habits and crappy food - it's not going to heal overnight. Knowing this helps me to be easy on myself as well, to enjoy the journey more and not put so much pressure on myself to be vibrantly healthy NOW. Thank you for your comments!

And time. Keep up the good work.
